After upgrade at 30.5. I can't boot the orangepi zero 2 (4.9 kernel). Is there any possibility to reload the old kernel or other ways to fix it? Thanks in advance for answering.

config-4.9.255-sun50iw9

It might be easier to debug if you attach an actual boot log rather than an kernel config we already know...

Thanks Werner for the quick answer! I have problems to connect the uart. I try it and send the boot log.

Same problem here :(

Just got my uart to work. Attached the boot log.

boot-log-orangepizero2

Did you try a new image to see if that boots correctly?

I just tried it. The same error messages in the boot log (attached).

Boot-log-orangepizero2-2

I seem to recall somewhere here about 'booti' and 'bootm' change, sorry its just vague memory!

 

** File not found /boot/Image **                                                
Unknown command 'booti' - try 'help'

maybye this is the problem but I don't know how to fix it:

"The problem is caused by typo in default_bootcmd booti  should be modified to bootm"

 

default_bootcmd=run uenvboot; run cp_kernel2ram && run cp_dtb2ram && booti ${netstart} - ${dtbnetstart}

 

Anyone has got it fixed?

Not sure. The only file I could find containing booti is here: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/bootscripts/boot-sun50i-next.cmd

Other files are unrelated to H616 aka sun50iw9

Try edit this file and then build an image from it to see if changes something.

@Werner is right you need to try changing bootm - booti 

 

Unfortunately I dont have time to test this, that was the change in the various sources I had picked up during my attempts at trying to get things working on the modern kernels.

 

build/config/bootscripts/boot-sun50iw9.cmd is bootm

 

build/config/bootscripts/boot-sun50i-next.cmd is booti

 

I am assuming legacy is using sun50iw9.cmd

 

If so and in which case you should the change there...

 

from:

bootm ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r} ${fdt_addr_r}

 

to:

booti ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r} ${fdt_addr_r}

Can I change it on actual system (fixing it) or do I have to make all image build? etc. Sorry for dumb question but I'm not best in Linux territory. I'm using it just for PiHole and it worked great until this update

 

(EDIT) I think I found the answer

https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Recovery/

correct try that with setenv

 

mainline arm64 uboot uses booti,  boot.cmd suggests making the change.

It seems that legacy uboot is overwritten. Not entirely sure what the update/upgrade circumstances were with the previous posters. Unfortunately  I dont have usb debugging in set-up right now, have to dismantle cluster build.

 

Here is my experience latest official download:

 

Armbian 22.05 Bullseye
Kernel 4.9.y, Size: 344Mb, Updated: May 28, 2022
SHA hash | PGP signature

stable user space packages

 

Red light-on and nothing further!

Similar outcome to what updating my previous test download!

 

PROCEED WITH FOLLOWING:

Armbian_22.02.22_Orangepizero2_bullseye_legacy_4.9.255.img downloaded 04/18/2022, flashed to sd card and follow usual formalities username/pwd/locales etc

While root, install desktop from Armbian-config

 

REBOOT: 1

NOTE this gives me [No end-user support: untested automated build]

clarification, I need to check exactly which image this is, as have built and downloaded quite a few in my various processes!

hey! this worked, changed line #73: booti ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r} ${fdt_addr_r}

to

bootm ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r} ${fdt_addr_r}

 

build a minimal focal image, and it booted.

 

Trying now to build a normal focal image...

 

thanks!

Refrained from stating the obvious here, @armbianorange2hero is a good strategy or armbian-config freeze, as a workaround.
